Unless I'm missing something, like a new set of maintainer
tools, the rules in bfd/po/Makefile for generating
po/POTFILES.in from elf32-ia64.c elf64-ia64.c peigen.c pepigen.c
elf32-target.h elf64-target.h and targmatch.h require that these
files are in srcdir, while they're generated in objdir.
To avoid building in srcdir, I temporarily use
--enable-maintainer-mode --disable-nls.
The question is, *should* maintainer builds be performed in
srcdir? If not, is this a bug that should be fixed?
If srcdir is supposed to be objdir for such builds, then
I think README-maintainer-mode needs updating.
